of Corella. Rotrou was one of the signatories, since the castle of Corella had been granted to him by the king in December 1128. He is last attested as ruler in Tudela with Robert as his underling in a private act of November 1131. He was still in Iberia in March 1132, when he witnessed Alfonso's grant of a fuero to the town of Asín. Second trip to the Holy Land Sometime before 1144, Rotrou returned to the Mideast on Crusade, one of the few north French barons to do so. On this second trip Rotrou obtained some relics which he donated to the monastery he had founded at La Trappe. In Spain, Rotrou established links with García Ramírez, the future King of Navarre. García married Marguerite de l'Aigle, daughter of Rotrou's sister Juliana and Gilbert, lord of l'Aigle. Marguerite had by García a daughter and namesake, Margaret of Navarre, who became the queen of William I of Sicily. During the period when she held the regency for her son (1166–71), she raised to the chancellorship her cousin Stephen du Perche, a younger and illegitimate son of Rotrou. She also made Gilbert, another cousin from the Perche, count in Gravina. This Gilbert was one of Rotrou's grandsons, although by which son is not known. Another relation, Henry of Montescaglioso, was a son of Marguerite, perhaps illegitimate. Family Rotrou's first wife's name is unknown. They had one daughter: Beatrix, married Renaud IV, lord of Château-Gontier Rotrou's second wife was Matilda, illegitimate daughter of Henry I of England and one of his many mistresses, Edith. Matilda drowned in the wreck of the White Ship on 25 November 1120. They had two daughters: Philippa, married Elias II, Count of Maine Felicia Rotrou's third wife was Hawise, daughter of Walter of Salisbury and sister of Patrick, Earl of Salisbury. They had three sons: Rotrou IV, killed at the Siege of Acre Geoffrey (died after 1154) Stephen, Archbishop of Palermo Rotrou also had an illegitimate son by an unknown mistress: Bertrand, father of Gilbert, Count of Gravina Rotrou was succeeded as Count of Perche by his son of the same name.
